Thanks JK .... well, it's done. One of the roots he took out was sharp all the way around .... the other was just like the rest - in shards. I came home, took 1 Tramadol and 2 Motrin and planted myself in my lounge chair and went to sleep, waking up with one cat on my legs and the other on the top of my chair. Expensive is right. The work the O.S. has done has come to over $2,000, and the dentist and dentures will come to about $5,000. But, with a Care Credit card it's much easier to get rid of it and pay it off. Well, better go and have some tea. Thanks again for thinking about me.

@amberpep Abby, thank goodness it's behind you now. There are a few different topics I participate in, one being about liver transplant. I presume you are not on that one and not either waiting for a transplant or post-transplant. I am and cannot take anything non-rx other than tylenol for pain. I think I can still take oxycodone, which for some weird reason keeps me awake at night so I do not like to take it.
Tylenol is so worthless.
JK

Hi there .... yes, I agree, Tylenol is almost worthless. So you're waiting for a liver transplant? Wow .... I'll be praying for you. What is wrong with your liver? Are you on a very restricted diet? And you must feel terrible most of the time. What happened to you that your liver is in such bad shape? Please keep us updated and I will be praying for you.

@amberpep sorry for the confusion. I am six months post-transplant. I had non-alcoholic cirrhosis, apparently from NASH. The transplant was wonderful, I have felt great from around the second month. I will be forever grateful for this gift.

@contentandwell I'm glad to hear that you are doing so well post-transplant. That is great! For those who may not be familiar with NASH here is some info from the NIH website which might be helpful https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/liver-disease/nafld-nash.
